Collaborative 3D Printing in Medical Practice 2018

Collaborative 3D Printing in Medical Practice is a post graduate course designed to update and introduce radiologists, surgeons, dentists, biomedical engineers and other health professionals and administrators on uses of 3D printing of anatomic models. Creating accurate models of the anatomy contributes to improved postoperative results and increases surgical confidence in complex cases. Segmenting and printing techniques and practical application in medical care, research and education will be reviewed. Surgeons and clinicians from various disciplines will share their Mayo Clinic experience detailing the benefit of the models to their medical and surgical practice.
